Ritabhari in Once Upon A Time In Kolkata

Ritabhari Chakraborty has started shooting for her next film calledOnce Upon A Time In Kolkata, which is being directed by her mother Satarupa Sanyal.

"The film — set in the period just before will the new century dawned and before mobiles and computers became a necessity — will see Ritabhari playing Sreelekha, a school teacher who gets married to a criminal and a local councilor, played by newbie Om. The film is about the power struggle," said the director.

The unit is shooting in docks, old factories and streets that will create the feel of old Kolkata. "Arjan, played by Om, is an anti-social goon, who has political patronage. Sreelekha marries Arjan because he had rescued her from her kidnappers. But after marriage, she realizes that the two are poles apart. While Sreelekha is educated and cultured, Arjan is uncouth. Their incompatibility is creating problems for other people too," said Ritabhari.

The film also stars Rajatava Dutta as an honest police officer. He is also the narrator of the film. The film will also see the presence of Dedyut Ghosh, Nimisha, Anindyo Banerjee and Dwijen Banerjee. Ronnie Chakraborty will play the role of a struggling model. Rupam Islam has already composed a song, Sher hate tollate, for the film. Jojo, Samantak, Sandipa, Somdyuti and Anindyo will also lend their voices for this project. "The music ranges from hard rock to classical," said the director.
